Just like the latest discussion about electron, I say: our primary concern is the users. Tron said so.
We should be concerned for their privacy, for their security and for their computers in general. Giving them applications that will eat up their resources as the only option is downright unethical if we remember that our primary concern is "fighting for the users."
I love javascript, I like working the web frontend, but porting the web to desktop by... not doing it, only hiding the browser, is just not the way to do things.
And, by the way, it saddens me that a lot of arguments in favor come down to "we already wrote the website, why do it twice?" That's just lazy and shows a remarkable lack of intellectual curiosity for a field in which being on top of things and updating constantly is key.
